One Columbus man is dead and three others remain hospitalized after their SUV flipped on the
freeway over the weekend in Morrow County.

Jovan Johnson, 31, was killed in the 6:15 p.m. Saturday crash at the Rt. 61 exit off I-71
south.

Kenneth Langhorne, 32, was in critical condition yesterday at Ohio State University’s Wexner
Medical Center, where William Johnson, 39, was in fair condition. Joseph Lindsey, 46, was in
serious condition at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center. Dion Holmes, 42, was treated at Grant and
released on Saturday.

State Highway Patrol Lt. Toby J. Smith said the men were returning from Cleveland, where they
might have played in a flag football game. Investigators found spiked shoes and flags in the
wreckage.

Witnesses said the 2002 Ford Explorer swerved from the left lane to the right lane of I-71,
possibly to make the Rt. 61 exit. The SUV rolled several times, and all of the men were thrown from
the vehicle.

Smith said investigators still don’t know who was driving or what caused the crash.
